[Bell Historians] Bells lost at sea

[Chris Frye]

I missed the original reason that this thread was started, but the following
could count as a bell lost at sea (or in briny water at least!).  Clouston's
account of the bells at St. John's Kirk in Perth (Scotland) mentions a bell
lost during unloading at Friarton, which is in the tidal part of the river
Tay. For detail see page 536 of:

Since reading about this bell, I've been wondering if it might still be
there and if someone with access to some sort of sub-surface geophysical
imaging kit might be able to find it...
